PashaPasha Dolls *BrEaTh & PuLsE* discussion

Hi, everyone!

Can anyone who has ordered a Pasha Pasha doll tell me if there is anything special about placing the order? Every doll order I've made so far has accepted PayPal (which is easy) but I've heard of some (Popovy) requiring bank transfers or things like that. I'm hoping that the next preorder (which I believe is for Mini dolls) will be coming in a few months and I want to make sure I understand the process so I won't miss my opportunity.

Thank you very much!

 

You're going to need to be online the second they go on sale. They tend to sell out in just a few minutes. I paid via Paypal on a 9 month layaway, no problems.

 

Hi @StellaMarigold, I found ordering from PashaPasha very easy and used paypal, although the dolls are cast by Star Doll in Russia (like Popovy), Pasha Setrova is in New York and so there is no issue with payments. With Popovy, there are complications to sending money with Paypal because various countries have imposed restrictions on movement of funds in and out of Russia. It's not a preference imposed by the Popovy Sisters, and many people find other ways to pay.

 

Thank you @Raesha and @vonbonbon - Yes, I was realizing I would have to be there right away. I'm hoping that the preorder will be at a time when I am able to order!

I'm very happy to hear that you can pay through PayPal! That makes me feel much better, since in that case it is only a matter of it I can get my order in - I know what my exact order would be so I won't be hesitating on that part of it.

Thank you vonbonbon for explaining the Popovy payment system - that makes sense to me, and it wouldn't be a problem if I were ordering one of their dolls since they don't seem to have the same "blink and you miss it" sale windows.

 

@StellaMarigold, no Popovy are fab, you can just email Igor at any time and order whatever you want. Blank dolls are really quick but I think there is quite a long wait time for anything more complicated.... worth the wait though Having said that I hope we hear something about the last Pasha pre-order soon.... I'm not too good at waiting

 

@vonbonbon Oh yes, it makes you wish that all the companies were like that (but I understand that they are not for very good reasons!). I really like the Popovy dolls, too, especially Little Owl and Peewit.

Are you waiting for anything from Pasha's most recent preorder? Or are you, like me, waiting for the next preorder?

I'm dying to know if she's going to offer the new lighter skin color one of her recent minis was cast in (the mini Pulse with the dark hair and the Nigel Chia dress). I feel like I've spent my whole time in this hobby looking for a mature female of that size and super-posable style with very pale skin (I want her to be a redhead).

Look how lovely she is!

I'm also really hoping she will include extra hands for the mini dolls in this preorder, since the "resting" hands she makes are so beautiful and remind me of Dollshe's 26F hands. They look so natural. I asked her about it, and she said she hoped she could include them, so we'll see!

 

@StellaMarigold yes, I am waiting for a big Pasha girl from the last preorder but can't even remember the name of the sculpt! It's been a stressful summer and the order date seems to long ago now, almost another lifetime away, hee hee I hope you get your pale redheaded mini girl soon.... with extra hands

 

@vonbonbon Oh, well, then you will be surprised when she arrives! (which I hope is soon).

I have my fingers crossed, so we'll see what happens. Either way, I'll continue to enjoy Pasha's work.

 

Guys, the next preorder for Mini Pasha dolls is October 6!

PashaPasha Official Page on Instagram: “Hey hey hey. Youve all been asking for so long and finally preorders are opening again in two weeks! This time its only for PashaPasha Mini…”

The heads available are Sanity and Pulse (yay!).

 

Has anyone got any advice to keep me sane while we wait for the May pre-order to be ready? I' m quietly losing my mind! Patience has never been my strong suit

 

I'm in the same boat as you waiting for my Breath to arrive. I ordered some shoes from Shapeways for her so I'm waiting for those too. I'm usually pretty blasé about waiting for a doll, but for some reason this one has me on pins and needles. I guess no one has gotten theirs yet.

 

Got this today for anyone else waiting for the full size May order:

"Hello everyone!

Erika from PashaPasha here to give you an update on your girls. We are just about to hit the 5 month mark of production for your girls. We have gotten word from our caster that new molds were needed this time around in order to make sure all those beautiful details in your girls are preserved. Because of this though, production is a little slower than we're used to and we're only hoping to get first shipments in the next month.

We apologize for the wait - we're pushing our caster as much as we can too! If we do end up going past our 6 month production goal for some of you, we will be sure to include a small gift as a sign of our appreciation for all of you being so patient and understanding.

For now, please try to rest assured that the extra time is being spent on making sure your girls are top quality. Once again I apologize for the wait but I will continue to badger our caster and will write again once we hear about the first shipment of girls!"

It's nice of them to keep us informed, I can reset my mind to think of her as an early Christmas present to myself now

 

Our predicted postal strike might be over by then, sigh!

 

Dropping in to share some Pasha love...Magda,

...and Gidget.

 

Really cool vampire!

 

OOOOooooooOOOOO, excitement!!! Email from PashaPasha today to say they are expecting to get the first shipment of the May preorder in Mid-December after the delay because of the new mould casting.... Yay!!!

 

Sorry for the double post, but quite some time has elapsed... I am now despairing that we will get our Pasha Pasha doll this year let alone before Christmas

 

Yes, I’m afraid it doesn’t look like the dolls will be here in time for Christmas.
It’s okay though....I’m patient, because they are worth the wait.

 

@Alfie yes, I'm sure they will be amazing once they get here but this is the reason I rarely pre-order dolls anymore... I worry myself into a frenzy while I'm waiting!

 

Anybody get their Breath yet?
